Employment
Job Title Owner of Years Employed (1978 to Current)
Gosbin Construction Niles, Michigan
My responsibilities at Gosbin Construction were numerous. I have to bid jobs. Read blueprints for the bids. Take care of finances including procuring insurances, understanding taxes and much more.
A large part of my job involves hiring and training employees. Interacting with the customer is a delicate science and has taken awhile to hone the skills.
Some of the projects I have undertaken as an owner of Gosbin Construction include but are not limited to: Building a Mc Donald’s Restaurant in Terre Haute, IN, constructing the Rite Aid pharmacy in Niles, MI, completing a stip-mall in St. Joseph, MI, spear heading a modular duplex village in Niles, MI, designing and constructing roads in a sub division in Niles, designing and building a road in trade for land in a different subdivision and countless other unique projects.
On the residential end I have built several custom homes, prepared land for modular homes including the installing of septic systems and sanitary water hook ups.
A great deal of what we have done has been in the poured wall category.
Job Title Foreman Years Employed (1974-1977)
Quality First Construction Edwardsburg, MI
With this company I was responsible for running a union crew of Carpenters. The various jobs that were asked of me to run were two Lucky Steer Restaurants (start to finish), McDonald’s drive -thru(s), Barnaby’s Pizza Restaurant and framing an apartment complex. I was in my early to mid twenties at the time. Near the end of my employment there the owner gave me his company truck full of tools and the check book. He left for an extended vacation in the Bahamas. I was asked to run the jobs and right out the payroll and did so.
Education
Degree Earned Carpentry Years Attended (1973-77)
Indiana Vocational Technical College South Bend, IN
This was a 4 year apprenticeship program through the South Bend Carpenter’s Local 413
This program taught important skills with elevations, blueprint reading, concrete properties such as slump, psi standards and test cylinder preparation. The program also taught other skills such as welding and minor electrical wiring techniques.
The on the job training that was learned here was very valuable to my success in the running of my own company. ( One of my classmates from this program is the current Mayor of South Bend, IN) The class was rather elite. They took 15 people from the 289 who took the entrance test. I was in the top 5. Before the four year program was finished I signed a Union Contractor’s Agreement and employed more of my classmates than any established union company did at that point in time.
Major in Construction Engineering Years Attended (1971-73)

I did not complete this course, however, I feel the tuition was well spent.
